But someone frustrated his plan, so he killed himself. <BR/><BR/>Maybe he preferred to retain control rather than allow himself to be captured and humiliated. Doesn't matter. What matters is that someone stopped him from carrying out his plan. By shooting him enough to stop him, Assam saved countless lives.Jonathannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9250029.post-45817028912849194562007-12-12T11:38:00.000-06:002007-12-12T11:38:00.000-06:00They are now saying that the guy killed himself - ...They are now saying that the guy killed himself - sure he did.

Her treatment by the press reminds me of what happened to the guy who once put Clinton on the spot with a question about tax-raising at one of those "town hall meetings" before they learned to screen out conservatives. The press was all over the questioner for everything except the substance of his question. Within days he was the subject of one of those middle-of-the-front-page profiles in the WSJ that pointed out that (IIRC) he was estranged from his wife, had had business problems and been penalized for tax evasion or something similar. They did everything but run a headline saying: THIS GUY IS A LOSER. And this is the kind of treatment you can expect if you are an ordinary citizen and use a gun to save the lives of dozens of people.<BR/><BR/>If I ran that church I'd make sure that this lady gets taken care of for the rest of her life.

I assume that publishing this information was part of the media attempt to smear this woman.

Since when the f* do autopsy reports get returned so soon anyway?<BR/>And the regular citizen doing the right thing in the right place at the right time... What does she get for her heroic effort?<BR/>An award?<BR/>A Reward?<BR/>A pat on the back and a hand shake?<BR/>A fricken "atta girl"??<BR/><BR/>No, she gets the entire box of talking heads doing their damnedest to discredit her at every turn. <BR/>It's just.
